I haven’t seen the issue yet, but my buddy Arne Zeising pointed out that my board sponsor Endeavor snowboards posted a shot on their blog I got in the new TWsnow, which happens to be their annual ‘Photo Annual’. This shoot was a blast, and a big thanks goes out to Colin DWATT and Jussi Grznar for slipping into wetsuits and diving into an opening in a huge glacial lake to GTS (get the shot). Chris Rasman and I spent the morning riding this gnarly ice wall (hopefully one of those shots gets run in a magazine soon!), we then got prepped to tow each other in using our sled’s and rope. We clocked in at about 80km/hr on average to make it across the opening in the lake, because we needed to not only make it across the freezing water, but also make surf-style turns to get the shot we were going for.
Right before this was taken I was a little heavy on my front foot and took a tumble into the frigid grey/blue water, but luckily Colin was on the shore and scooped me out of the water quickly. If you look closely you’ll see that I am no longer wearing my SPY ‘Flynn’ sunglasses (they are likely sitting at the bottom of the lake, or maybe further down stream by now!), and my shirt is soaked through. Leave it to Jussi to convince you that ‘one more shot and I got it’ is all it will take, in this case, thanks for pressuring me buddy!
